My IBD .

Hey @Strawberry1, sorry to hear your stomach isn't doing so well. I know just how that feels. The dizziness, can I ask if you've checked your blood pressure at all? Just the dizziness can sometimes be a sign of that!

Hi @Jimm_Scope , I've been for a nap . Thank you again. Im sure it will settle soon. I had a blood pressure check a little while ago and they said it was ok . If it persist I will let the gp know or check with the chemist even. I hope you are alright 👍. Take care of yourself.

Got terrible pain in my abdomen. I've taken some buscopan but I suppose I've got to wait for it too work.

Hope it's kicked in by now @Strawberry1! I know it's difficult. Abdomen pain can be so debilitating 😕

Strawberry1

Pains gone off now @Jimm_Scope . Thanks.

Strawberry1

If it's not my IBD playing up it's my back. Sometimes the other way around . Occasionally together.

Stomach is not great today.

Strawberry1

My stomach is not happy today.

Jimm_Scope

I'm sorry to hear that @Strawberry1, I know exactly how that feels. I hope it passes soon, it's never nice.

Strawberry1

Sorry to you too @Jimm_Scope .

Jimm_Scope

@Strawberry1 Hey now, what have I said about saying sorry? You have nothing to apologise for when it comes to me. 😊 You've not done a thing wrong

Strawberry1

OK @Jimm_Scope 👍. Thank you 😊.

I’ve got my colonoscopy on Thursday. The first one in 12 years. I’ve had a fair number of colonoscopy’s over the last 30 odd years so whilst not looking forward to the procedure it will show if there are any issues.

Strawberry1

Good luck with your colonoscopy @krs1958 . I hope everything is OK with that and your results are good 👍.

My abdomen isn't 💯 per cent today. Pain etc . Don't think it goes away just like that.

Good luck with the colonoscopy @krs1958. I hope the results are good 😊

Strawberry1

I've taken pain relief hope it starts working soon.

My back is playing up too 😒. So abdominal pain and back pain .

Strawberry1

Thank you for the support @Teddybear123 , I have used heat appliances before. I always feel a bit too warm within myself these days and I wasn't sure if I'd overheat if I used a heated appliance . I probably would do in the cooler months. My back is nerve/disc pain. Due an injection in September. Last night my stomach was a bit more settled but not great I do think it can take a while for it to settle can't it . Sorry yo hear of you pain issues it's never good when pain is around. We do our best to plod on don't we .
